The snake is not deadly to man

The hunting of the snake is usually done in a fast motion (as opposed to snakes lying in ambush and biting or suffocating).

It is a sub-venomous snake, meaning that the venomous teeth are located in the back of the mouth, where the venom does not fatally harm a person, and may cause only local irritation.



The hatching of the young turtle agonist had no chance in front of the snake, while the adult agitator looks from the side at what is being done without the ability to assist.



The land of the acorns is a nature reserve that mainly preserves the species of the common tortoise, whose population in the reserve is estimated at several hundred individuals, and is located east of Highway 90 in the Arava.
